Can this be used for hot chocolate with milk?

As stated on the user's manual it can not be used for any dairy products or soda.

Yes indeed. It does a great job of keeping hot beverages hot. I have also used it for Pina Coladas and the only limiting factor is the diameter of the siphon tube which limits the size of any crushed ice you can dispense. Hot chocolate should not be a problem unless you put the marshmallows in it when you put it in the air pot instead of putting the marshmallows in the hot chocolate after you dispense it into your mug!

Although we have never tried it, it certainly seems fine. It would keep the chocolate hot for hours and pump it through ok. The main caution would be to thoroughly clean the pot, the pump, and especially the tube after each use. We use a small brush to fit inside the tube, available at any hardware store, which would clean the tube adequately. Thoroughly pumping water through the pot should help, also. You must avoid the buildup of old milk that can occur over time without good cleaning.

I haven't used it for hot chocolate but I think if you use it with milk you need to thoroughly clean the pump mechanism after each use.

The interior is like a thermos so although as I have only used it for cold drinks (Crystal Light) I believe the dispenser would be great for all beverages hot or cold (even hot chocolate with milk). The only drawback is that the dispenser should be cleaned immediately after use with beverages that may have a tendency towards molding or mildew. i

I've used it for hot chocolate with milk and spiced cider. Works great! Just thoroughly clean it when you're finished.

Regret the late response. Think of the air pot as that decanter at Panera. You can fill it with anything, and from a pump action, the liquid comes out. I love it for being one of the best at keeping liquids hot for a long time. Now my suggestion would be do not let the hot chocolate sit (form more than two days) bacause there is a tube internal that liquid flows through (about the size of a bubble tea straw) that may clog if the chocalate left to hardened.

It will keep it hot, but not sure how long milk can be kept like this without it spoiling. I would google how long milk can be kept hot without going bad.

I haven't used it that way personally but I would think that if you cleaned it thoroughly before anything dried in the flow path you should be fine.

I think it would be fine to use it for hot chocolate but I have only used mine for coffee. It works very well and keeps coffee hot for hours.

I wouldn't but you could mix something thin like chocolate milk. We have only mixed little blocks, puff balls, paper pieces, etc. I don't want to get anything sweet up into the motor section of the mixer.

I have never used it for hot chocolate but I used it in place of regular coca powder. I also use it to make smoothies and everyone, kids included love it. My kids are 12, 14 and 21. I have been using it for a year now for different things.

I don't see why not, wish i had thought of that,(DUH) it was delicious, but went off before i could use it all!!!Things with a lot of fat in them usually freeze well. i had bought the milk from the same maker, but in very small carton, perfect! thought this was the same size as the milk, didn't read close.

You could make hot chocolate as it has heating element. Cleaning up would be difficult since it has cutting blades. ...Any recipe you have could be used

I am sure. Using a concentrate liquid no problem with milk it will warm and froth beautifully. There is a heat range and you just have to figure out how hot you want it. We use cocoa and agave and sometimes it is a bit too much for it. Wait until the liquid has started to warm and pop the lid and sprinkle don't dump in the middle using the cappuccino frother attachment not the smooth one.

You can use it to hold hot water or pre-mixed hot chocolate, but it's not going to make the hot chocolate for you. It is a percolator, and cocoa mix doesn't percolate like coffee does.

Yes you can. I mix it with both hot water and milk. When mixing with water I noticed I needed to use more mix to fulfill the flavor.

You can use it for anything. You can also buy it locally at Wal-mart. Do not order it during the summer, because it will be delivered as hot chocolate soup.

I should not even try it. Metals in microwave are dangerous. I heat the milk in a regular cup and then pour on the stainless steel cup

Haven't tried it, but don't see why it wouldn't work. If the pan is well greased, and the chocolate is allowed enough time to harden, seems to me as if it would work. Sure will take a lot of chocolate, though!

I use mine for milk but I don't see why hot water couldn't be used in them. They are glass...

I did not use this chocolate for that purpose specifically, but I think it would work well. It melts quite easily in the microwave if you stir it frequently. I used in a chocolate fountain, where you dip things (like pretzels) and they were easily cover in chocolate. It does solidify quickly without a heat source though.

I don't believe it can be used with anything that is carbonated. It works best with milk and juice.

I haven't tried it because I'm a coffee lover, but I don't know why it wouldn't work very well for tea. I'm not sure all of the cocoa would go through the filter in the basket for hot chocolate. It might.

No, I think that would be a real mess. What I would recommend is this Breville product: http://www.brevilleusa.com/milk-cafe.htmlIt is made to specifically heat milk.

You can mix it with milk and heating it may allow it to blend better. It's a bit of a challenge getting it to mix and the powder can be messy but the taste is good.
